I will say that Sydney is really starting to grow on me. Although it is super busy, quite large and rather impersonal the variety that it offers week to week is pretty amazing. Over the 6months that I've actually been in the city and not travelling I've been to only a handful of places more than once. Its kind of like being in a new city every weekend, which I guess fits in with my holiday lifestyle. Over the last few weekends I've been dragged along to a few fun things, which will appear in the next couple of blogs inbetween the regulars and my slowly getting the details of my last trip "down on paper"
Gay Paris & The Beards
We went for a quick visit to the newly re-opened Abercrombie before heading to the Annandale for a gig, which The Beards were headlining. I had never heard of the beards before but their supporting act Gay Paris I had seen inadvertently earlier this year and loved. Gay Paris are a band that I struggle to put into a genre, they would be something like punkabilly except for the low, gutteral vocals of the lead singer which are very hardcore crossed with death metal. Whatever they are they are definitely refreshing and put on a great show which I would recommend that anyone with a punk/hardcore background to go and see. As you can see from their bad pic there was a reason why they were supporting The Beards.
The Beards were really odd. They seem to be a parody band that somehow gained a solid following and became serious. Every song is about how you should have a beard, why beards are better than not having a beard or why you should consider sleeping with someone with a beard. Kinda cool and fun to start with but also seems super lame at the tail end of an hour and a half set. I dunno not my thing I guess.
Accompanied with seeing a girl that I seem to only run into once every couple of years, the night was great.
